My ollld screen name in a bunch of places is/was smackmesober, sort of a play on one of many DOCs..and now I'm sober.

"Lexie" has a dual meaning: "lex" as in "word" (I AM the WORD GEEK and "lex" as in "law" (I'm a lawyer). I've been using "Lexie" as an online handle for quite awhile, and when I adopted a cat a few years ago, I named her after my online alias! Sort of a twist on those who name themselves after their pets. :)

Just in case there are other word geek lawyers out there, here's a limerick a former colleague of mine wrote:

If another cartoonist elects
To plagiarize Disney's effects
His case will succeed
In court, should he plead,
"De Minnie Mouse Non Curat Lex."

That's pretty awesome, actually.

Mine's probably a little more mundane..
Never saw myself as anything much. Just Joanne !!

And my picture..... I love dogs...especially sleepy, calm ones. Looks a little like me tooo! haha

My screen name came from my love of Dodge Magnums. This was my car from 2005 - 2008 but it was repo'd. This picture made the CustomMagnums dot com calendar for October 2007

Just love this thread.....

As for me, I have to admit that when I joined, I was already into my 7th or 8th drink and couldn't come up with even one clever sobriety name. So..... I figured, well I'm an artist, right? OK...... So then I'm thinking that before I started drinking alot, my spirituality was the most important thing to me (and something I needed to get back). Hence art-soul.

I posted on page one, explained why my avatar is a Challenger burning out. Wanted to share a pic of my Challenger. Sorry if I'm hijacking, this is a great/fun thread.

OMG it's BEAUTIFUL!!! It's a 5.7?

Maybe someone should start a car thread that is NOT in the mens section as I am a huge Tomboy!

topspin 07-28-2010 06:27 PM

I found this site about 15 hours after my last blackout,......having never heard of a "forum", the first anonymous screen name (?) that came to me was of an unusual cat I had 25 years ago. He would follow us out to the tennis courts and fall asleep just off the doubles line while we were banging balls. Curiously calm cat.

Tommyh 07-28-2010 06:42 PM

well,my name came from my daughter`s ball playing when she was young and in school.
It was allays softball or basketball...bal,ball,ball....auggg
if someone else wasn`t coaching her,then the girls hit me up to do it and take them to games and tourneys.....I was so relieved when she got to high school and dropped sports and focused on school and boys
my name is Tommy and a few friends call me T also

I figured joining SR was one-step-forward in recovery. :c029:

cissybug 07-28-2010 06:59 PM

Surlyredhead 07-28-2010 06:59 PM

I have a bit of a surly personality (or so I've been told.....humph) and I have red...make that RED hair (well it is really more orange, but surlyorangehead doesn't sound quite right)

LaFemme 07-28-2010 07:05 PM

Texas, your car is hot! Please tell me it has a manual transmission....

Love everyone names;-)

My. Avatar is a painting I did of myself 8. Years ago when alcohol wasn't ruining my life.

Heh, touche. I flatter myself that my word-geekiness rises above that of the merely loquacious. I like to play with words--they're my favorite toys. :)

Nice painting, LaFemme!!! :c011:
